Summer Into Fall
October 20, 2007
Suddenly it is fall on the coast. In mid-september I went from sandals in the sunshine to dew on my bare ankles. Now I am wearing wool and gore-tex. I never thought i’d make it this far. October and I am still in my little apartment overlooking the sea. The leaves are turning everywhere and it is brilliant. Last week, F and I went to see if there were any salmon in Angus creek, near Porpoise Bay in Sechelt. (A lot like the salmon, we returned to the spot we met). However, there were no salmon in the creek, and very little water in the stream.
I have also returned my mother’s gift to me: use of her car for the summer. I have lived for almost 10 years without a car in Vancouver and Toronto, but in a small town, I know it is different but I am up for the challenge and will post my thoughts about it over the next few months.
New Window Arrives!
October 1, 2007
After a weekend at the Vancouver Film Fest, I arrived back to find a new window installed. Along with my new window and new season that arrived over the weekend, there are other new things in my work-writing life: macbook, music (Iron & Wine), and a writing plan (real deadlines).
